This is the romantic Paris to make a tourist weep. It doesn’t get more action-packed and grippingly atmospheric than this.” -The Boston Globe “Vividly re-creates the excitement and growing gloom of the City of Light in 1938–39. “The most talented espionage novelist of our generation.”-Vince Flynn Alan Furst brings to life both a dark time in history and the passion of the human hearts that fought to survive it.īONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Alan Furst's Midnight in Europe. At the center of the novel is the city of Paris-its bistros, hotels grand and anonymous, and the Parisians, living every night as though it were their last. Mission to Paris is filled with heart-stopping tension, beautifully drawn scenes of romance, and extraordinarily alive characters: foreign assassins a glamorous Russian actress-turned-spy and the women in Stahl’s life. What they don’t know is that Stahl, horrified by the Nazi war on Jews and intellectuals, has become part of an informal spy service run out of the American embassy. The Nazis know he’s coming-a secret bureau within the Reich has been waging political warfare against France, and for their purposes, Fredric Stahl is a perfect agent of influence. Hollywood film star Fredric Stahl is on his way to Paris to make a movie. “Page after page is dazzling.”-James Patterson “A master spy novelist.”- The Wall Street Journal
